Athens Man Hurt in Fall on Ice
Slippery streets and sidewalks after an inch and a half snow cover caused several slips in Athens. Cloud Dry of Messenger suffered a leg fracture after a fall on S Congress St. while other pedestrians slipped on hidden ice. Street pipes froze at a Brown Ave home amid two weeks below freezing and low temperatures. Police report two traffic crashes on Route 216 near Murray City and a separate Union Route 56 collision involving two New Marshfield drivers. Drunk driving arrests rose with two drivers arraigned before Judge Rowland, Mrs Marie Riley posting $300 bond and Orville C McVey released on $300 bond, trials unlikely before December 20 due to court workload.
